Small wars? Yes. But by 2012, Pan-American unity!

Even divided, we stand strong!

Goalkeeper Barbosa prevents the second Uruguayan goal in the 1950's World Cup final, and Brazil wins its first World Cup. One of the butterflies is no military coup and Brazil stands as a democratic power in Latin America during the 1960-1980's period

Can You Dance The Bossa Nova?

Texas Congressman Charlie Wilson is caught in 1979 in a random highway stop with an ounce of cocaine. This leads to his resignation. It also leads to the Afghan insurgency getting significantly less money, delaying the fall of the USSR, and allowing the Russian-backed Northern Alliance to retain power over the Taliban.

Cheers,
Ganesha

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

The Unexpected good side of a stupid action

Nazi spies kills in the members of Tizard Mission in route to US, stealing the plans for the cavity magnetron, what leads to a Battle of Britain where the Germans had better RADAR systems than UK...

The Chemical Sub-terfuge of the Rising Sun

In a Dieselpunk-TL where electromechanical computers are widespread and the teletype network is global, World War II is won by the Allies when a virus created by a Bletchley Park team lead by Alan Turing crashes the Reich Master Computer System.

P.S. Would this be a interesting TL?

Maybe.

A clan of vampires is established in colonial America; they remain in the shadows for over a century, and history remains indistinguishable from OTL, that is until the breakout of the American Revolution, when one of the undead is sent to the Second Continental Congress, becoming a founding father of the nation...

The Bloody Founder!

(Inspired by "Library Wars") Early in 1910's, Anthony Comstock manage to increase to power of the Comstock Law and of his Censorship League, allowing him to apprend (sp?) anywhere books that didn't fit his view of "decency". One disastrous attack to New York City Library allows President Theodore Roosevelt to pass the Library Defense Act, allowing Libraries freedom to add books and to use force to defend its collections (since that he didn't manage to annul the Comstock Laws, due to influence of Lost Cause senators).
The fight between Comstock Censors and the Library Defense Force reach its climax when Senator Joseph McCarthy incite an attack against the Library of Congress, during his rants on HUAC. The destruction is only prevented due the actions of Library of Congress Defense Force... The Library Wars ended when President Eisenhower finally manage to repeal the Comstock Laws.

The Comstock Law and the Library Wars

During the middle ages corruption and political ambition did increase in the Roman-Catholic Church. And even the pope is among the corrupt. To end this to bring the church back to its roots pope Pius II (1409-1419) barred all major orders for men (but those already in those orders were not removed) and opened all orders for women. He was the last male pope and was canonized in 1517. Popess Alexandra V became the first female pope (elected by an all male Papal conclave) and ruled the Papal State and the Roman-Catholic Church until her death with 53 in 1447. She also managed to reunited the western and the eastern churches.

Alexandra The Great

A freak storm delays the Bismarck's departure from Hamburg for its scheduled sea trials in Kiel Bay in late 1940. The delay gives the Royal Navy's intelligence section time to organize a secret commando mission meant to sink her.

Sink the Bismark!

An ASB timeline in which the CP wins WW1, wireless power transmission is invented in the 1920s, the US collapses in the early 30s and is taken over by the Technocrat Movement who invade Canada and Mexico, and the Second Great War is fought between the technocratic US and the German Empire. The war is primarily fought in the air, between fleets of gigantic flying wing aircraft carriers, carrying fighters powered by wireless power receivers linked to generators in the carriers.

German was overstretched and kicking the easiest out first sounds like Vader, who looks for the cheapest way to do things. in the EU, he even hated the Death Stars and was on scene to make sur4e the DS22 was on time and within budget. Great adminstrator he was.)

I have no idea for the last post, I just wanted to 'correct' this glaring error.

War in the Skies (also known as Crimson Skies)
In 1862 the Holy Roman Empire of German Nation has been reestablished after the German Confederation stopped the conquest of northern Italy by the Italian Republic. This empire does not only include the whole German Confederation but also all Italian states which were not conquered by Garibaldi's republican forces. The Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Sardinia, Hungary and Prussia are idependent kingdoms outside Empire in personal union with Luxembourg and Limburg (NL), Hanover (UK), Holstein (DM), Savoyen-Piedmont (SA), Austria (HU) and Brandenburg (PR). It's a parliamentary monarchy in which the emperor is elected for life by the Upper House (Imperial Council of Princes).

We're sick, help us!

King John III of Sweden decides to convert the country back to Catholicism after several compromises. He later developed the country more effectively and his heirs sided with the Catholics during the 30 Years' War, making Sweden a big Power.

The Sun Never Sets On Mother Svea.

A timeline in which the US is never attacked on Pearl Harbor and remains isolationist. Despite the common misconception, the Third Reich does fall without US assistance in 1947. The D-Day Invasions of 1946 were made up entirely of British and Commonwealth (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, etc) forces. The Eastern Front was fought by the Soviets, who eventually occupied all of Germany. Everything west of Germany was liberated by the British Allies. Hitler and his government fled to Japan, where he lived in exile 'till his death. The resulting Cold War between the Soviet Union, British Empire and Japanese Empire would last till the end of the century. Meanwhile, the US became known as the "Switzerland of the West".
